Exercise extreme care when using the steam
mop on timber flooring. Ensure the steam mop is
thoroughly tested in an inconspicuous area prior to
mopping a large floor area. The steam mop generates hot steam,
so when depressing the trigger to apply steam, ensure the steam
mop is moving continuously. The trigger does not need to be
depressed at all times. Prolonged application of steam in one area
increases the risk of damage to the surface treatment on timber
floors. Check with your timber floor treatment application specialist
prior to steam mop operation. Regular foot traffic and direct
sunlight will wear down timber floor surface treatment, making it
more susceptible to steam damage. Exercise extreme care when
using the steam mop on timber flooring.
Never put descaling, aromatic, alcoholic, or
detergent products into the steam cleaner, as this
may damage it or make it unsafe for use.
Tinted plates on foot may get hot while steam mop is in use.
Do not touch while hot.
Upright storage of the PowerFresh™ Steam Mop with a wet mop
pad may result in the formation of white marks on your floor.
To remove the white marks, clean area with vinegar.
